From bestselling author Marian Keyes comes a new laugh out loud novel about a very ordinary mum from Dublin, who's about to become the most influential women in the world. Well, for just a few moments anyway...

The book giveaway has now closed and those who were selected to receive free copies have been notified.

We're a bit excited about the forthcoming webchat with Marian Keyes next Wednesday, 10th June between 1 and 2pm. Please do join us then, or if you can't make it, post up questions in advance for Marian on this thread.

I love MK, I am going to try and think of an excellent question! I bought the above book with real money and it was good! (Though the Walsh family books are my favourites). Also MK should always be on Strictly: it takes two- she is awesome on it!

adore this woman.it's a great pleasure & indulgence to reread her books. I go to Ireland on business a bit, and find myself biting my lip sometimes with people and situations that are pure Marian Keyes.I must apologise for buying a lot of them from charity shops & sending them back there again, or borrowing from the library. I feel i need to contribute a little more given the level of enjoyment I've had.

Do you remember meeting me at a book signing in Sydney about 15 years ago? <funny> I remember meeting you I think it was for Sushi For Beginners. You were lovely - we had quite a chat and I love your accent.

So my question is about book signings. Do you like them or are they a necessary evil?

Marion you are wonderful. I love your books. I don't think any other book has me me laugh as much as Last Chance Saloon. I enjoyed it so much I restarted it as soon as I finished. Then DH read it to see what was so funny.

I slept with Rachel's holiday under my pillow for a few nights when I finished it as I was so sorry to get to the end of it.

I love Marian. Rachel's Holiday and Lucy Sullivan, and others of hers saved my life, no word of a lie.

I love how she writes about depression, and I know she has her own struggles with the Black Dog. I have the utmost respect for her and just want her to know that her books are like my best friends, my dog eared and well read copies of each have pride of place on my bookshelves.

Hi Marian !I have read and enjoyed all your books - and then gone back to them at a later date and read them again. I think the book that had a really profound affect on me was Watermelon. I read it from cover to cover in bed after an horrific breakup from an abusive relationship. It helped and helped me focus and put things in perspective. Thank you! I wanted to ask how you get the ideas for your books? Also I know it's personal but how do you stay 'dry'? Is it easy now or a constant battle?
